Finished appearance.

1. Install motherboard, 3 1/2", and 5 1/4" drives:

1.1 Remove thumbscrews from the rear of the X-QPACK2.

1.2 Remove the 3-sided panel by sliding it back then lifting upward.

1.3 Remove screws as shown to access the motherboard tray.

1.4 Slide the motherboard tray out of the case.

1.6 Place motherboard on the 1.5 If your motherboard tray standoffs and screw included an I/O shield, then into place. replace the X-QPACK2 I/O shield with it. Remove shield by pushing it inward from the position shown.

1.7 Remove covers of expansion slots that you need and install any expansion cards that you have.

1.8 Replace the motherboard tray into the chassis.

1.9 Remove screws to release the hard drive cage.

1.10 Slide cage upward to remove.

1.11 Slide hard drive into cage.

1.12 Secure hard drive by fastening screws on both sides of the cage.

1.13 Place a screwdriver in the hole and lift metal plate. Then wiggle plate up/down until it comes loose.

1.14 Remove 5 1/4" drive bay cover(s) by pushing it out from behind.

1.16 Secure 5 1/4" drive by fastening screws on both sides of the drive bay.

1.17 Replace the hard drive cage and fasten screws.

2. Identify the power supply connectors:

2.1 20/24 pin ATX connector x 1. Four pins can be detached by gently pulling them if you need 20pin.

2.2 ATX 12V P4 connector x 1. Supplies power to the CPU via the motherboard.

2.3 4pin peripheral connector x 6. These provide power for IDE devices (HD, CD/DVD) and case fans.

2.4 Serial ATA (SATA) connector x 2. These provide power to your SATA devices.

2.5 6pin PCI Express connector x 1. This connector provides power to your PCI Express devices.

2.6 Floppy drive connector x 2. Use to power 3 1/2" floppy drives.

3. Install front panel leads and LEDs:

3.1 Locate the USB/Audio/1394 (Firewire) front panel connectors. Refer to your motherboards' manual for the proper pin assignment. Generally there is a small triangle on the connectors to indicate the positive line.

3.2 Locate the Power LED, HDD LED, Power SW, Reset SW and Speaker front panel leads. Again, please refer to your motherboards' manual for the proper pin assignment.

4. Install Hard Drive and CPU temperature sensors:

4.1 Locate HD/CPU senors.

4.2 Tape sensor to hard drive to monitor its temperature.

Note: You may also leave the sensor loose in the chassis in order to monitor overall system temperature. DO NOT place the sensor directly on the CPU as it may cause system damage. 4.3 Tape sensor to the CPU heatsink to monitor CPU temperature.

5. USB/1394(Firewire)/Audio cable pin assignment:

(see your motherboards' manual for location of USB/Firewire headers.)

6. Complete the Installation:

6.1 Once all components have been installed properly, gently return the 3-sided panel to its initial position (lower the panel over the chassis and push forward). Congratulations, you have completed the assembly of your X-QPACK2.

X-QPACK2 Addendum
System Guidelines: 1. Your CPU cooler should not exceed 76mm in height. 2. The X-QPack2 can accommodate graphics cards up to 267mm in length. 3. The power supply's dimensions are:138mm x 148mm x 84mm and can be replaced with most standard ATX form factor power supply's.

Changing the LCD display mode: Our LCD temperature displays use Celsius as the default setting, as is used on Intel/AMI motherboards. If you would prefer to display system temperatures in Fahrenheit, you must set the LCD switch to the "F" position. The switch is located on the PC board at the rear of the LCD.

Removing the front panel: With the 3-sided panel removed, locate the two screws on the inside of the front panel and remove. Next, locate the four clasps in the front panel. Unhook each of the four clasps and remove panel. Use caution when handling panel wires.
